Etymology of NARCIS

There is no widely recognized noun or adjective "narcis" in the English language. It is possible that you may be referring to the word "narcissus", which has its roots in Greek mythology.

The word "narcissus" originates from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a beautiful young man who was known for his insatiable vanity and pride. According to the myth, Narcissus was so obsessed with his own reflection in a pool of water that he fell deeply in love with his own image. Unable to leave his reflection, Narcissus wasted away and ultimately transformed into a flower.

As a result, the flower associated with this myth came to be known as "narcissus". The term has been used since ancient times to refer to various species of flowers in the amaryllis family, specifically those with white or yellow flowers, often having a trumpet-like shape.
